The present process prepares a cinnamon water extract product with a minimal content of potentially toxic cinnamaldehyde and coumarin, while increasing the contents of the active ingredients of polyphenolic polymers for controlling blood glucose level.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2011Publication date: May 24, 2012Inventors: Nanzheng CHENG, Long LUO, Jiang KONG
